Assistant Professor of Anesthesiology, University of Michigan
I am an Assistant Professor in the Department of Anesthesiology and the Chronic Pain and Fatigue Research Center at the University of Michigan medical school, where I study chronic pain, cannabis, and psychedelics. I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia 15 years ago, and draw from both my lived experience as a patient and research background in this article. I have seen and experienced firsthand the ways that clinicians and patients talk about chronic pain medications, and find them to generally be disempowering to the patient, clinician, and drugs themselves. My goal in this article is to help provide a new and more useful lens to think about medications, especially given the poor treatment outcomes for people with chronic pain, the frustration providers express about treating these “challenging patients”, and the ongoing opioid overdose crisis.

Reader in Ecology, University of Central Lancashire
Kevin teaches ecological, field-based and research-related subjects within Biology, Geography and Environmental Sciences. His expertise lies within the realms of soil ecology. Kevin’s primary focus is on research and, for example, he has collaborated with the Natural History Museum, Forest Research, Scottish Natural Heritage and the British Land Reclamation Society. Overseas research has involved work with numerous Universities and other institutions. Kevin also supervises research students in areas of applied ecology.
Kevin has published widely in the sphere of soil ecology with a focus on the use of earthworms and the services they provide. These ecosystem services can be harnessed e.g. to improve soil quality within the context of soil restoration and in low input agriculture. Kevin’s research also involves organic waste management and ecotoxicology.
Kevin joined the University of Central Lancashire in 1994. He was initially involved with teaching in areas of Conservation and Environmental Management, but over the years he has developed his research profile. This has led to National and International collaborations in temperate regions across the world. Kevin has spent time working in Ohio, USA, with the United States Department of Agriculture and in Finland at the Natural Resources Institute (LUKE). He is also visited in Preston by researchers keen to experience our earthworm husbandry facilities and visit active field experiments. Kevin has made numerous broadcasts on local and National radio and TV and was interviewed on BBC Radio 4 in 2016 about the discovery of the largest earthworm found in Britain on the Isle of Rum. Kevin has organised research meetings in Wales (2002), Scotland (2014) and in Poland (2018).

Senior Lecturer, School of Mathematical Sciences, University College Cork

Research interests include: Mathematical modelling, numerical methods, machine-learning, fluid Mechanics (low Reynolds number flow) in Geological problems, Statistical analysis of finite strain in rock mechanics, software development and object orientated technologies.
Mathematical Modelling of Patterns in Geology and the Natural World: A fundamental hypothesis of my research is that attaining a greater understanding of the physical behaviour of rocks during deformation will lead to methods which allow estimation of the amount and type of deformation from the finite, observable pattern of inclusions exhibited in natural examples. Thus, the basic research question I address is how do rocks deform when subjected to stress?
